Re:Uhh... head injury evidence abounds
the red pen has a point about your HTML.
Just a simple validation check at validator.w3.org shows at least six parsing errors for your original link. Writing invalid HTML and blaming it on Netscape is inexcusable. It takes seconds to run HTML through a parser, and using Netscape as a scapegoat for poor markup shows bad taste.
No offense, but this HTML stinks. You have mixed CSS and HTML style tags, valid under HTML 4 Trans. but not the goal of HTML, and you do not enclose attribute data in quotes. You use tables for formatting, and I don't even see how it's needed!
Saying nothing about your technology, it would look a lot more impressive if you wrote your pages in XHTML Strict and did all formatting through CSS. After all, why should people trust your "advanced" XML when you cannot even master XHTML, the simplest form of XML?

Get with the planI hope you're not under the delusion that any of those sample XML documents are more than trivial to generate in other languages.
OK big guy, enlighten me.
Show me what you can do? Perhaps in JSP? Something like this?
You seem capable of constantly missing the point. You seem reasonably intelligent, see if you can understand what is going on here. This is pretty much totally unlike anything that has gone before, and your cheap shots do you no credit.
Anyway, thanx for the heads up for Netscape, I will get around to fixing the HTML at some stage soonish.
Unfortunately, right now, Netscape ain't a top priority, and it pains me, but thats the way it is for the next few months. You and I both know that it is the inferior browser, and has little penetration in the corporate market where IE and Outlook rule.
Priorities for us are finishing the implementation and getting it used in the real world. Our intention is to GPL the code once we port the implementation to C. The parser is pretty radical so this is going to be a fun task.
If you bothered to try learn what is going on, then you may understand why the demo's are impressive. Right now, you can't see the wood for the trees.
It is an XML dialect (well, would be if we bothered with a DTD), it does conform to XML standards, and it is demonstrably useful.
There is more, if you care to continue, mail me.

Re:Uhh... head injury evidence aboundsYou don't even know HTML, you freak losers.
Nor does Netscape for that matter, and they have a lot more money and resources than we.
Anyway, dude, it *does* work.
Relax, open your mind and have some fun
... there is a lot going on here.Do you realize that you're re-inventing JSP with taglibs
Do you realise that nearly all computer languages in to languages is based on Chomsky's context free grammars. Language P is not. It is probably the worlds first syllabically based, context sensitive grammar. As such, there are things that it can do quite exquisitely simply that are practically impossible in other languages, or quite clumsy.
Online parser is here.
As for Netscapes cretinisms, I will see what I can do about cleaning up the code. Linux port is planned to start in about 6 months, but as they do not support VML yet, we are not concentrating on it as a client at this stage.
Anyone interested in starting a VML project for Netscape?
Do you know anything about XML or do you just like acronyms that start with "X"? They are cool, aren't they...
Well, we know a *little* bit about XML.
Here is a bit of fun, as is here and here.
My version of netscape attempts to save to disk a
.prx file, but ie will dump out an XML document if you click the links. -

Re:OK, this is just crapSo, already, we have the case that anyone who isn't laboring under the deficits inflicted by a head injury has figured out that you really don't want to force any kind of programming language to look like a valid XML document.
Well, maybe, and then maybe not.
Perhaps we are completely crazy
... but check out Language P an XML compliant server side scripting language.
